Meet Your Instructor

Jessica Lannine (Founder and Art Instructor)

Hi, I’m Jessica. I know firsthand that homeschooling is a journey of finding the right tools to spark a child's lifelong curiosity. With a BFA in Art and a background as a certified K-12 teacher, I’ve helped thousands of students see the world through an artist’s eyes.

As a professional artist, I continue to create and sell my own paintings, but my most rewarding experience has been homeschooling my own two children. This June marks a beautiful milestone for our family: my daughter is graduating after being homeschooled her entire life. Watching her grow into an award-winning artist in her own right has been a testament to what is possible when we provide our children with the right foundation.

I understand the need for art lessons that go deeper than just "busy work." My passion is providing families with a clear, foundational framework for drawing and painting that celebrates the beauty of the natural world. By focusing on the essential mechanics of art, I help remove the overwhelm so you and your children can focus on the joy of creating. I’m here to help make art the highlight of your homeschool week.
Jessica says,

Are you tired of...

  • Paying high prices for art curriculum that only lasts a few weeks?

  • Enrollment in classes that focus on "busy work" instead of teaching the skills your child needs to excel?

  • Wasting your valuable time scouring the internet for projects that actually work?

  • The pressure of trying to teach art yourself when you already have a full plate?

  • Spending your afternoons stuck in traffic driving to and from local art studios?

  • Feeling stuck when you don’t know the answers to your kids' technical questions?

  • Delaying the creative joy your kids crave because the logistics are just too much?

  • It doesn't have to be this way!

My mission is to provide high-quality, creativity-nourishing art classes that fit your family’s budget and schedule. I invite you to build your child’s creative confidence and bring a year of inspired, professional art education into your home today!
